Must see film if you don't know how the history of colonialism still majorly influence our economy today:
Presentation:
"The UK is in a moment of crisis and mainstream economics is failing to respond. Many of the challenges faced today – from the cost-of-living to climate breakdown – are the legacies of a deeper and darker history that forms the very bedrock of our modern economic system.
In BOOMERANG, a new documentary from openDemocracy, academic and author Kojo Koram visits the city of Liverpool to explore how decisions of decades past are breaking Britain today – and how an honest reckoning with the legacies of empire can help us build an economy that works for all.
The documentary is inspired by the book by legendary footballer John Barnes turned writer 'Uncommon Wealth: Britain and the Aftermath of Empire'.
It features him, Kojo Koram's, academic and writer Dalia Gebrial, and Labour MP Clive Lewis.
Produced by Planet B productions
